John-  I go to the Donate page and the program just keeps eternally trying to load for me.  I have my adblock and all turned off, but can't get it to load.  One of my protection settings must be blocking it.  Can I just make a Paypal donation instead?  Please send me a PM to advise on how to send via Paypal.  Thanks

Stumelia - Here's one source http://www.ceolsean.net/content/dglen/dglen_toc.html You can also look up webpages for almost any pipe band, since they usually post their repertoire for band members to learn. Pipe music is always (nominally) written out as if it's in two sharps and it comes out in D major or A "modal" with a flat seven (G natural) and in B minor. The big highland pipes are actually pitched in B flat so they sound the tunes in B flat or E flat. It's as confusing  as old banjo music! The many little grace notes can be largely ignored or adapted since they are really specific to the instrument.

Strumelia, and anyone else who can't make the donate page work, if you use paypal you can send a donation to my email address.  If you don't have that send me a mail message and I will send you an address or email address to which you can send a donation.

I sent in mine! I'm not as active in this group as I used to be - but I still love hanging out!

No thermometer gadget this time, but we are half way to our goal!
